The charity drive was to raise money for Sheffield’s Weston Park Hospital where Nathan’s 48-year-old golfing dad Gary had been receiving treatment for cancer of the oesophagus.

The golfing pals, who have been members of the Hickleton club since youngsters, have raised over £5,500 so far, and more cash is coming in.

Nathan, who completed over 140 holes, said afterwards: “The event went really well, it was really good.I was in agony after, I managed eight rounds of golf but had to stop because my knee was in pain and Aidan did 10 rounds.We received another £500 on the day and up to that point had raised over £5,000. We’re just so pleased with the support.” People can still help donate at http://www.justgiving.com/Nathan-Beresforde
